Polish term or phrase: holniocek

Kiej cie bieba wytarmosi
W kieśni mos łostatni grosik
Milówecka wnet przypomni się
Tu mamuśka mleka dała
Soła do snu ci sumiała
*A holniocek wykołysoł cie*

grzzpo: hurricane to nie ten wiatr

-> Nie ten, ale o podobnej sile, to chciałam podkreślić. Potocznie huragan=bardzo silny wiatr. Fachowo to oczywiście błąd. Dzięki

disagree

Polangmar: Nie "hurricane-type", ale "foehn-type": http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hurricane , http://pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wiatr_halny , http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foehn_wind Poza tym tu chodzi o słabe wianie, skoro "wykołysoł cie do snu".

halny (wiatr)

Explanation:
local wind that blows in the mountains (southern Poland)

here the word is softened and deformed to reflect the local dialect

halny / halniak / halniaczek = holniocek

--------------------------------------------------

you may use the word as it is ("halny") if you want to stick to its individual regional character

as in wikipedia:
